AT Soldier Mod

still cant see them

Anyone still trying to use this mod? I've managed to update the mod using some of the fixes listed in here. All the units show up and work to an extent. Two of the units require switching their alarm state to red for them to fire but the rest are fine. Hoping more experienced coders could look into that and figure out that bug.

You need to adjust the life values. They don't show up on the F10 map because DCS thinks they're dead.

How do you do that? 

[TMacDeezy]

Open up the Infantry AT mod folder. In the top of the directory is a folder named "Entry" which contains the lua files that describe each unit in the mod. Open the lua files (any text editor will work) and look for lines that have "life = 0.1"... or something like that, can't remember what the original value is... but its less than 1. Change the life values so they are greater than 1 and it should work. Remember, you'll have to do this for each one that doesn't show up on the map.

Included some pictures for clarification. Hope this helps!

That is it. Thank you!

Keep this alive boyz. Hopefully someone will come along and continue it. Much needed mod.

We had a great one that worked well up until an update broke it entirely. 

It appears ED changed how infantry works such that they can no longer rotate (e.g. a turret)

These made the Huey and Mi-8 absolutely lethal, as they could set ambushes up for armor columns where the TOW teams would smoke-check the armor as soon as they came over a hill.

Can this mod please have a Javelin version please?

Not sure what your suggesting. This mod still works.

Can you link please to the one you have that still works?  The one we were using most certainly doesn't anymore.

this should still work. YOu need to make  sure the alarm state of the tow is red and change the life setting to at least 1.01. See above

That was just the artillery but I got the original, thank you. 

They do fire when modified as you have shown. 

What they don't appear to do is detect newly spawned assets, until they either move or fire. 

Still experimenting.

OK, I've packed both of these files into one .7z on my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_S6qwf7ABIDsGCL_IRPC3Iimmsu9hdPv/view?usp=sharing

I made the @TMacDeezy patch before the merge.  I hope @TMacDeezy and @Morkva_55 don't mind me doing this.

Yes, DCS World needs infantry with AT missiles.  But especially the Javelin...

I'm trying to add this Mod to CTLD but I can't seem to get the unit name correct.  I've used Soldier bgm-71, soldier bgm-71, soldier_bgm-71, bgm-71, and many varieties of 9k115 and 9k135.  Does anyone know the precise procedure for CTLD and these units?

if _countOrTemplate.at then
    ctld.logTrace(string.format("_countOrTemplate.at=%s", ctld.p(_countOrTemplate.at)))
    if _side == 2 then
        _troops = ctld.insertIntoTroopsArray("soldier BGM-71",_countOrTemplate.at,_troops)
    else    
        _troops = ctld.insertIntoTroopsArray("soldier 9k135",_countOrTemplate.at,_troops)
    end    
    _weight = _weight + getSoldiersWeight(_countOrTemplate.at, ctld.RPG_WEIGHT)
    ctld.logTrace(string.format("_weight=%s", ctld.p(_weight)))
end

I have gotten a mod to work, using this code as a base, and they hold a Javelin.

But the code declares a diff weapon, so even though it fires, the missile is NOT a Javelin.

But I hear rumors about someone who has been successful in making missile mods that work in DCS

I have not seen them myself. I can make modded bombs, and rockets. Un Guided.

The guided weapons are the difficult part.

What's the unit name of your mod?

Mod updated.03.January.2018

- 2A18M 122mm D-30A howitzer with 3OF56 HE and 3BK6 HEAT shells added to stationary artillery in ME (DCS have no towed artillery at that moment).

- 3OF56 HE and 3BK6 HEAT have near the same "cannonball" ballistic due the same low initial speed and high mass, so do not expect high accuracy for individual targets.

- BGM-71 TOW soldier on closed position armor (GT.chassis.life) decreased.

- BGM-71 TOW missile distanceMax decreased to 3750 meters in order to fit real data.

- AT-7 Saxhorn missile distanceMax decreased to 2500 meters in order to fit real data.

- AT-14 Spriggan missile distanceMax increased to 5500 meters in order to fit real data.

Hey there, the link seems to be dead. Is there yet a chance to download your mod or are you no longer supporting it anymore?

[El Phantasmo]

@currenthill Any chance of using your fantastic mod skills and bringing this back from the dead or possibly updating?

[Stratos]

Anyone got the D-30 working? It appears in game but does not fire, unless I'm doing something wrong.
